Random Thought
You know when you're watching a television show or a movie, and displayed for your viewing pleasure (and plot advancement) are shelves covered with photographs of smiling, happy couples?
What I've always wondered was this: who, exactly, was supposed to have taken those pictures? You know, who took the picture of the studly yet sensitive interchangeable hunk proposing to his ambitious and gun-shy ingenue? The proposal that was supposed to have happened when they were alone, together, on a mountain top in the Swiss Alps?
I would actually get annoyed with Buffy for just that sort of thing. Sure, I understand it's a way of reinforcing a point or a relationship...but when you strive for realism in so many other ways, don't forget the photo collages!

Idle Chatter:
I always notice that! Most of them are photoshopped, I'm sure, but I think it's funny. They have to do a photo shoot prior to filming for the set.
*I* want to be in charge of continuity. I'm the one who notices the bowl of pasta the actor's been working on for the last fifteen minutes is as full as the second it was put in front of him, or a shirt that was previously unbuttoned has suddenly buttoned itself back up.
But yeah...set designer could be really cool.
